Learning to sight read involves many parts. Playing with a metronome can help you visualize what a quarter note duration should sound like at 120 BPM, for example.

However, the physical coordination between the right and left hand and issues with the way a human hand is designed make playing what you may be able to read difficult for everyone.

Single-note sight reading in the treble cleft is not super difficult for me, except when notes are placed more than one octave above or below the staff. Recognizing chords in all the roots and two other inversions is not so easy for me. Truthfully, there is a hell of a lot to learn.

I have never had piano instruction, so I need to improve my basic piano skills and sight-reading.

Some of the learning happens almost automatically. You hear a piece of music that contains a quarter note rest for example, and you see the rest on the sheet music and relate the symbol to what you hear.

I am glad I have pretty good hearing recognition of musical notes. It will certainly make learning to sight-read better a lot easier.

For me, there are not so many "mountains" to get over in music. There are just a million hills that stretch beyond the visible horizon.
